Chasing sunsets

Look at us catching the sunset together
With some light talk to get us going 
Nothing but nature and sheer tranquillity
And a nice glass of chardonnay

If you ask me what the occasion 
I'd say we're celebrating life
And we should do it more often 
Cause we don't get great sunsets like this

For we are always on the move 
At times when you're catching a sunset
I'm out there catching a breath
Cause my day is barely over and I can't get home 

That's why I'd want to take this moment all in
To enjoy that sweet fragrance 
'Cause the streets can be suffocating
And it's hard to go fast in a crowd 

At this moment tomorrow is a distant place
Yesterday is a messy place
Today is pacing by
But presently, memories are all I picture
